28 Mar '09 - 189 W - + 13 - 15 Spotify - Listen to the 80s (and more) online

If you haven’t already tried it you really should give Spotify a whirl. This is the latest thing in online listening. Like some other services, it lets you search for tracks and listen to your own selections for free. Unlike most services it doesn’t all take place inside a web browser. Spotify has its own slick user interface. Best of all, the music selection is phenomenal - everything from the mainstream classics to really obscure artists (how about The Silicon Teens?), and it also covers pop, jazz, classical, country and more...

The music quality is great and it’s really fast. The free version includes some advertising but (so far, anyway) not too much. Certainly a lot less than most commercial radio stations. The free version is currently available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France and Spain. In most other countries Spotify Premium (advertising free) is available for purchase (about £10 a month).

Needless to say, I’m far too mean to pay. But then again, I am very happy with the free version:

Enter the number as a single digit - e.g. if you think SPAM has seven letters enter 7
